CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE II. A. Public Hearings - None B. Audience Participation Walt Bishop asked the Council for help related to a problem he had about the zoning designation on his property which had been annexed into the City in 1980. Mr. Bishop explained his land was designated Unclassified on the City of Auburn Comprehensive Land Use Map. He felt the City should zone his property with a zoning comparable to the King County RM-2400 without his going through the whole rezoning procedure. He added he had a buyer for the pro- perty and the Unclassified designation caused problems in the potential sale of his property. Dugan explained any plans submitted to the City he would be entitled to have them reviewed under the County RM-2400 designation and would not require a change in zoning. Mayor Roegner clarified the -1- AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE TWO MAY 16, 1983 II. C. Audience Participation (Cont.) issue appeared to the City of Auburn Comprehensive Land Use Plan listing Mr. Bishop's property as Unclassified. He instructed staff to see what could be done about it.

Storm -Sewer - Chairman Don Kurle - Minutes are of public record. C. Planning & Zoning - Chairman Linda Wisner Small Oil-Companv Amendment to Conditions Linda Wisner asked Chief Gintz to explain why the request had been made to change the Conditional Use Permit. Gintz explained the Fire Department approval on the Conditional Use Permit was based on the site plan, however, when the building plans had been submitted they felt there was enough of a hazard to require a foam extinquishing system or putting the tanks underground. He said this was required to minimize potential hazards of static electricity, lighting and auto and plane crashes. Craig expressed concern over some general safety require- ments and asked: (1) Where was the static ground maintained? (2) How was it measured? (3) Was it safe to have the vapor recovery so close to the static ground which was accomplished as trucks were being grounded when they were hooked up to the hose? (4) Was it safe to have so many cars and trucks come in the area when modern cars have cata- lytic converters which can reach 1000 degree temperatures? Kurle said he disagreed with the Fire Department didn't know about the tanks being above ground because someone from the Fire Department had taken dike measurements. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Larson, to approve amendment to the Small Oil Company Conditional Use Permit site plan to allow construction of underground storage tanks. Craig, Kurle and Hitchcock voted NO. MOTION FAILED. MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Hitchcock, to reaffirm original Conditional Use Permit and instruct the Public Works Department to issue a building permit without the discre- tionary foam system installation. Bereiter expressed two concerns: (1) The Fire Department has indicated their recommendation for a foam system and if the worse situation would happened there would be a lot of potential liability; and (2) As a legislative body, the Council was instructing the staff to change a discretionary ruling for a particular case or individual and he wondered if the Council should not change the ordinance for everybody. -2- 1 1 AUBURN COUNCIL MINUTES PAGE THREE MAY 16, 1983 III. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS (Cont.) C. Planning Committee (Cont.)

Gintz indicated it was a discretionary passage in the Fire Code. Larson and Kurle voted NO. MOTION CARRIED. EXECUTIVE SESSION - See Item VIII. D.
